We Love Them Witches, The Occult
Malaysians are spending up to RM40 million a year on imported occult books.
Malaysian Book Exporters and Importers Association president Kevin Sugumaran said this only made up three to four per cent of the country’s book import bill of RM1 billion.
"Occult books have always been popular but sales doubled when the Harry Potter series became popular (in the late 1990s)," said Sugumaran.
He said books in the Harry Potter series alone accounted for RM5 million of the import bill. The rest consisted of books on topics such as witchcraft, voodoo and others.
Titles include Spells and Spellcraft, Potions, The Wicca of Love and Witch’s Almanac 2007. Full Story
